Okay - so I didn't actually wear these shoes with my outfit today, but I have been stalking them for WEEKS after deciding they would be my gift to myself after paying off the remainder of my student loan debt, something I've been working at very diligently over the past year and finally achieved about two weeks ago.

Figures, when I actually had the money to buy them, they were sold out in my size. But I patiently waited and pounced on them when they were back in stock. I love the way they fit and how they add a bit of edge. Bonus: they're comfy right out of the box. I can't wait to style them and actually really like them with my outfit today too.

The skinnies are Madewell - I have the high rise version from last year and am happy I could still squeeze into them this year. The blouse is Loft and a total workhorse in my wardrobe. I actually have last season's version and mine is blush, but this year's version (the white blouse in my finds below) is very similar and just as pretty.
